553: Chapter 553 Ten Men Attack the City!
Compared to the tension of Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng, Xiang Yu looked calm.
Holding the ten-foot-long Overlord Spear, its tip pointing directly at the city before him, he said loudly, "I think taking a hundred people to attack the city is still too many."
"I will only take ten people. Within one hour, I will surely conquer the city and kill its lord!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hundred soldiers behind him looked at each other in shock.
However, Xiang Yu remained composed. His sharp eyes scanned the crowd as he shouted again, "Who dares to go with me to attack the city! I only want ten people! Who dares to go!"
"Overlord, Ziqi is willing to go!"
Xiang Yu's brother-in-law Yu Ziqi was the first to step forward. His eyes were firm, his face showing a sense of fearless pride. His fists were clenched and slightly trembling, his heart filled with immense excitement.
"Overlord, Long Que is willing to go!"
Long Que took a step forward, his stride steady and powerful.
He held his head high and chest out, his gaze full of determination. A slight smirk touched his lips, carrying a hint of disdain for the enemy army, as if the fortified city before him were merely made of paper.
"Overlord, Xiang Zhuang is willing to go!"
Xiang Zhuang shouted loudly. His eyes were burning, and his whole body exuded an aura of charging forward. He unconsciously gripped the sword in his hand tighter; the blade vibrated slightly, as if it could not wait to drink the enemy's blood.
"Overlord, Zhou Yin is willing to go!"
Zhou Yin had a solemn expression, but his eyes were filled with resolve. He strode forward, the saber at his waist swaying gently with his steps, making a crisp sound as if playing a prelude to the upcoming battle.
Immediately after, generals like Wang Meng, Huan Chu, and Chen Wu stepped forward one after another. Every one of them was impassioned, their eyes flashing with a burning light. Some clenched their fists, some caressed their weapons, and some looked up to the sky, as if declaring their determination to the heavens and earth.
"Overlord, Zhongli Mo is willing to go!"
"Overlord, Yang Huan is willing to go!"
"Overlord, Xiang Bo is willing to go!"
...
Their voices were sonorous, echoing through the skies. They resolutely stepped out from the hundred men and stood neatly behind Xiang Yu, like ten towering peaks, indestructible.
Every one of these ten men possessed martial prowess no less than that of Zhao Zilong of Changshan. Each could take on a thousand alone, and under Xiang Yu's leadership, they could unleash a combat power more terrifying than ten thousand men.
In the distance, Xiang Liang frowned deeply, his face full of shock and worry.
He looked at Xiang Yu and couldn't help but say, "What is Yuer doing! Attacking such a fortified city with only a hundred people was already too few, and now he actually wants to take only ten. Is he out of his mind!"
Xiang Liang's hands clenched unconsciously, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his eyes filled with anxiety.
Fan Zeng's eyes also widened in shock. He looked at Xiang Yu and those ten soldiers in disbelief, his heart full of doubt and unease.
Ten people attacking a fortified city with a population of over ten thousand seemed like a complete fantasy to him.
Fan Zeng shook his head slightly, muttering to himself, "Can they really take it down?"
His brow was tightly furrowed, the wrinkles on his face deepening. With his hands behind his back, he paced back and forth incessantly, showing his extreme inner turmoil.
However, Xiang Yu didn't care about the others' reactions at all. He looked at the ten warriors before him, his lips curling into a confident smile.
Then, he raised the Overlord Spear high and shouted, "Attack the city with me!"
With that, he was the first to charge.
Even wearing armor weighing sixty to seventy catties, he could still run extremely fast.
He was two meters tall and weighed four hundred catties; wearing the armor made his physique appear even more massive.
He was like a massive gate, advancing rapidly.
Behind him, the ten fierce generals followed closely, launching a charge toward the city of Delosia.
